[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 963343, member: 33822"] Both will be great for elk and deer out west, and the ultimate decision is probably which caliber bullet do you like more. That said the 300 win mag is going to shoot a heavier bullet, so hit just a bit harder, which is a good thing for elk. In my opinion the 300 win mag is just about the most versatile cartridge out there. You just cannot go wrong with a 300 win mag shooting heavy 200+ grain bullets. Maybe give a look at the 200 Accubond over the 180, as well as the heavy Bergers that have been mentioned. Go run some basic energy and wind drift numbers out to some longer distances, and you'll start getting a feel for why heavy (high b.c.) bullets dominate long range hunting. Light bullets just don't match up. [/QUOTE]
